From first hand experience I can assure you this is the worst choice you could make in the investment world. They are all about: control, manipulation, and exploitation. This goes beyond not caring about the employees nor the clients well-being or comfort level as decisions are made as if these factors are irrelevant! The management seems self-absorbed to the point of being oblivious to the trends in the industry. The ridiculous policies are not only outdated but detrimental to success as the obsession to protect the firm is seemingly the only thing that matters. Such is the dysfunction that they feel they are above accountability. That worked in the old days but now we have the internet and social media that not only brings accountability but will result in reaping what you sow.  If I can keep others from making a mistake like I did it will be worth the effort equally gratifying to expose those who portray themselves far differently than they really are! 

This was a great place to work for however when I was there it was Southwest Securities, Inc.  They offered tuition reimbursement, great benefits, training and awesome coworkers.  Even though it's located in the city after a few years coworkers become your friends and family.  
Every year they would invite you to lunch (approx. a group of 20 who had birthdays around the same time and we would dine at the top of the Bank of America building and get to meet with the top executive's, ask questions, etc.  The tradition began with the executives years ago when they first formed the company and were still there - however back then they called it the brown bag lunch (on Wednesday's) as they would bring their lunch from home I suppose.  I know some of the people are still there today.     

The firm is conservative with it's investment strategy and product offerings, but thankfully they are more aggressive with in internal investment towards advancing new technologies, ideas, culture and it's employees.  The company as been going through a significant evolution forward and when large scale changes occur, work can be challenging.  Would like to see senior management have more patience to implement said changes before demanding returns/results.  Success certainly  rewarded, but you need to deliver when your number is called.   Would like to see the executive management be a bit more open minded across the board though...after all we are based out of Dallas and not Manhattan.

Hilltop has shown an unwillingness to adapt to the changing work environment regarding COVID-19. Whilst other businesses are using their newfound remote infrastructure to transition employees to a work-from-home setup (thus saving money, improving employee happiness,) HTH is rushing back for, really no apparent reason, and refusing to budge.

Even whilst vaccination rates remain around 15% fully vaccinated, HTH is pretending the pandemic is over. Come back to work, do the same job you did at home, but with the newly added risk of dying!

If the pay was good, you might be able to make a case, but it's not. Avoid, and look elsewhere.

I enjoy working at Hilltop Holdings with committed financial services professionals serving subsidiary business lines that provide banking, mortgage, and broker dealer services to clients. The business provides exposure to a broad range of financial products on a scale where each individual's contribution makes a difference. The organization has a positive culture, and acts upon employee feedback. The company built a new head office in Dallas by the SMU campus, and renovated the downtown Dallas office. Both buildings feature modern amenities and workspaces.

 

toxic environment and poor leadership
demanding schedule and no compensation
ZERO worklife/balance
No career growth/development opportunities
Company culture is bureaucratic and political and hostile.
The Executive leadership communication style at Hilltop Holdings is extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. 
Poor employee morale- They don't even have a Christmas Party nor do they reward or appreciate there employees during the holiday.

Remote first company, great benefits and pay (when times are good).

But you will also deal with constant layoffs, rude loan officers (because they drive all of the profit), and weird 1970’s style culture when you go to their sales conferences. The mortgage industry isn’t known to be very forward thinking in general though.


This job, especially the team this position would be with, is horrible. The team environment is horrible, nothing but a blame game. Management is horrible, yelling in the work place and demining others constantly. Yes they will pay good, but it is at sacrifice of your own sanity. They want you to work holidays and overtime without compensation. Management says they have an open door policy, but when it comes to it. if you go to them you are liable to be hated by management.

- Well capitalized company very well positioned for long-term growth.  
- Family oriented company culture is second to none.  Employees are really proud and excited to work here.
- Diversified business model with commercial banking (PlainsCapital Bank), mortgage origination (PrimeLending), and broker dealer (Hilltop Securities) segments.
- Experienced leadership team with several alumni from much larger U.S. financial institutions.


I enjoyed my time at Hill Top Holdings and our management team was also great to work with.  I do wish they did more team building events or just a quick getting to know each other because it would have made it easier to stick around. There was job security there and their benefits were great.
